[hot_mess_express]

Who: unfortunate souls
When: out of time, slotted in with the event but put out of time so people can die/come back easy
Where: places

[ The ground rumbles and shakes - and then opens up. The earth swallows you whole, leaving you in front of . . . blobs . . . Oh they're a little cute, aren't they?

But the world is a bit dark, isn't it? It's a little scary . . . isn't it? ]

[AKIRA HAS DEFINITELY FOUGHT THE BLOBS BEFORE. was not eaten!! but he's definitely staring at the mass of blobs with an exasperated look]

Go awayyyyy. . .

[anyway his hearing has returned by now]

Re: Pre-Fight Mingle

[legis_vox]

Persistent, aren't they?

[purrtagonist]

Don't they know the meaning of "taking breaks?"

[legis_vox]

Apparently not.

[purrtagonist]

[a small sigh]

I wish I knew where they were coming from.

[legis_vox]

The good news is that if we wander around down here long enough, we'll probably find out. The bad news is the same as the good news.

[purrtagonist]

[mmmm and if they run into too many blobs, they'll all start turning into the THINGS HE FEARS THE MOST and everyone here will see his fears and noooo do not want]

Into the lair of the beast, is it. . .

[. . . but he doesn't show any of that on his expression as he sets his jaw and stiffens his shoulders. they're here now; what else can they do?]

[legis_vox]

If we find the source, we might be able to kill it.

[clapping a hand on Akira's shoulder as he passes, though. this probably won't be fun.]

[purrtagonist]

[tilting his head towards Timur, and. . . his mouth curves upwards, somewhat sharp]

Aha.

You look ready for a good fight.

[legis_vox]

You're not wrong.

[purrtagonist]

Aha. Well, if that's what it comes down to, I'll be right behind you.

[legis_vox]

I'll count on it.

[purrtagonist]

And I'm glad you will.

[purrtagonist]

[>8(]

[points at his eyes and points at the blob]

[he has your number]

[hot_mess_express]

[ hops

closer

:> :> :>

and then it opens its mouth. did you know it has a mouth?

naan's laughter comes out. ]

[purrtagonist]

[oh my god what the fuck]

[RECOILS IMMEDIATELY, eyes wide]

-- Ceylon?

[hot_mess_express]

[ it just kind of bounces, and you can see vague shapes in the blob - it sort of shapes like his face - ?

it laughs more and more, echoing in the tunnel. oh - no, it seems that other blobs are joining it in laughing with naan's voice, repeated, canned, over and over. like a recording. ]

[purrtagonist]

[takes another step back until he hits a wall, bracing himself with one hand against the rock. easy, Kurusu. . . you know how these blobs work. you've already a run into a bunch of them before]

[tilts his chin up. . .!]

Hey, come on! Is that all you've got?! You barely sound or look like him!

[hot_mess_express]

[ well this is what you asked for

the blobs are building up around him, surrounding him like a wall - and through it, naan comes out, completely


naked

?

"You know, that isn't even remotely a convincing lie." ]

[purrtagonist]

[what the fuck]

Where are your pants.

[hot_mess_express]

[ "The nudity I could get behind if I could see anything. As it is I feel like I'm being cheated!" ]

[purrtagonist]

[. . . . . .]

[S. . . SNORTS IN AMUSEMENT, covering his mouth with one hand]

Cheated out of. . . seeing yourself naked?

[hot_mess_express]

[ oh no. it balks a little, individual blobs more clearly capable of being seen

"You should take a picture so I can see it if we survive this~" ]

[purrtagonist]

[presses his hand more firmly against his mouth, snickering a little more]

I'm tempted. Give me a minute to pull myself together, first. . .!
